Fuck I haven't tried quiting in 2 years. I've smoked pretty hard core for about 6 years now and have just reached day 8. I am doing all right but it's gettin harder and harder. Any tips from some quitters? I do tha usual like spend 2 hours in the gym a day, chew gum and drink lots of water. I'd appreciate any other suggestions.
Peace

do something that will distract you from thinking about it, something like...
sex? that would keep your mind off smoking

I've never been addicted to cigs, but I heard that when you have a really really bad urge to just have a cig in between your lips or whatever to suck on one of those big pretzel sticks or whatever they are and it helps. Just my .02 cents.

Thats my resolution too, the last cigarette I had was new years morning. Basically it fucking sucks, i'm thinking about getting some patches or something because I dont think I'm gonna hold out at this rate. And any of you fuckers who have never smoked and are going to say shit like "just stop", realize that you are an ignorant fuck.

Don't use gum, or nicotine patches, these were designed for people who have smoked for like 20 years straight.
They usually do little, just do it cold turkey.

dont use the nicatine gum cause then u just get addicted to that and even though its better for u than ciggarettes its still pretyy bad for u....just when ever u get the urge train urself to think of something else....for example whenever u wanna go have a smoke just go outside and go for a walk...without ciggarettes,,,cell phone anything, im thinking that might help

ooo yeah i just remembered i heard that this way worked for this dude...you crush up a couple cigarettes and put them in a water bottle and mix it up realll good, then the water will smell like shit so when you wanna smoke a cig, take a whiff of the bottle and it will remind you how nasty cigs are! it worked for that dude you should try it

You don't get what i was saying man.
Gum and Nicotine patches only dissipate the physical addiction and withdrawl. The mental addiction can only be done with one's self.

My buddy says toothpicks help out a lot. When he was quiting, he would just stick a toothpick in his mouth everytime he had an urge to smoke.

if you never have a cigarette on you, you can't smoke it. try not to buy any and don't bum any off people. just avoid any contact with your hands and a cigarette

Get ur friends to quit with you.
Always do something, don't get into situations of rest, that is when the cravings get bad.
Use a patch or gum to help calm the craving.
Eat a lot of candy or finger food.
Take it one day at a time.
Keep up the cig hate attitude.
Im glad that you stopped smoking

the craving or urge to smoke lastes like 5 to 10 seconds every now and then, but sooner than later, i stopped 4 yrs ago and the only thing i can tell you is that every time i had a craving i drank a glass of water, good luck to you, life is so much better now.

its easy to quit smoking under normal circumstances. it becomes difficult to do so when you are drinking scenario. try to stay away from those as much as possible.

Just stay busy, walks, skiing, cleaning up yr life in general and most of all be proud you lasted 8 days and say no, no, no
1 puff is all it takes to loose all the progress u made. You shouldn't have anymore nicotine fits after 8 days its only a habit now that you don't want to restart

10 days is the hump. but it is really tough goings for a good month and a half. clean up your whole life. no drinking or anything for the next few weeks. if you at the bar and you feel yourself getting the urge for a smoke. quit drinking then. you will def. substitute drinks for smokes and inevitably in the end you will smoke because you will be way to loaded. you seem to be going good. you really goota commit and stay out of scenarios for the first little while that makes you want to smoke. I also relied on apples every time I wanted a smoke at home. good ol. mcintosh.
